Pepper-Eggplant Mystery Continues
Maybe they are peppers.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote derisively about some Brazilian Aji Peppers that looked suspiciously like eggplant. Now it has produced some fruit and I must admit, the fruit is the correct shape. On the other hand, silvery-green eggplant-ish leaves and the fact that these plants are constantly crawling with ants, continue to make me think eggplant. There are several varieties of eggplant that produce 2-3" round fruit and I'll bet that's what this turns out to be.
